It's hard to find good, scary horror movies these days - the

First, a note: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning

Sitting through the final act of Dear John, the fifth film based on the
work of author Nicholas Sparks, I kept remembering that one line from
the opening credits: Directed by Lasse Hallstrom.

For a spy movie paying homage to a classic James Bond title, there's
surprisingly little intrigue to be found in From Paris with Love.

There's something very familiar about Edge of Darkness, a
well-made but routine thriller starring Mel Gibson.

My
advice for anyone who also wondered if Tooth Fairy might be good: Don't. Tooth Fairy is absolutely terrible, a miserable film that's
mean spirited three-fourths of the time and artificially cute and sentimental the other fourth.

I'm not sure exactly what director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) was trying to accomplish with
his adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel, "The Lovely Bones," a painfully depressing film about a

What is perhaps the most confusing note about Leap Year, a new
romantic comedy starring Amy Adams, is that Universal Studios decided to release it this January

Daybreakers, boldly released during a time when audiences can
cleverly say that vampires suck, is a refreshing blend of science fiction and horror, embracing
its R rating with style, mood and unabashed fun.

I never thought I would see a film in which Meryl Streep, who
has been nominated for 15 Oscars, was caught between 'Saturday Night Live' favorites Alec Baldwin
